RuneScape Touts Over 200 Million Accounts

RuneScape, has announced that their 11 year old games has over 200 million registered accounts. To give context to that, the press release states that “if RuneScape were a country it would be the 5th largest population in the world.”Jagex CEO Mark Gerhard says that the team has “witnessed a really strong resurgence in the game’s popularity over the past two years and are seeing strong player growth year on year.” To celebrate the account milestone and the game’s continuing success, Jagex have created what the press release calls “a suitably epic in-game celebration.” Jagex has also created a website to celebrate 200 million, with community testimonals, infographics and more.

To be fair, there was a time when this was one of the best MMO’s on the market, and IGN used a picture from that era… lol. But really, the game used to have 1.1 million people on at the same time, but it’s dead now. It has been dead since they came out with skill capes and took away PKing at virtually the same time back in 2007. Skill capes… blech, such a terrible idea. Welcome to no funscape.The Guild for only the quest champions of RuneScape lay in the suburbs of Varrock city just south-west of the main city [map]. To enter this most prestigious guild in the Free worlds, you would need at least 33 Quest Points (roughly completed nearly all free players quests). The Guild Master will greet you as soon as you enter the Guild. He is also the NPC you would want to talk to start the Dragon Slayer quest.

On the first floor there is nothing much apart from a small chicken coup outside. The chickens drop bones, feathers, and raw chicken, which can all be used.The bones can be buried for Prayer experience, the Raw chicken cooked at the range for Cooking experience which is also right there on the first floor, and the Feathers for Fishing, Fletching if you are a member, or they can be sold. This is a good place for low level cooks to get some levels up because there is a range in the next room.This is also the quest start point for one of the hardest non members quests, Dragon Slayer. To start the Dragon Slayer quest, talk to the Guild Master.
